Glad to hear Sunday went well.

My family did not come cause the boy had been sick for a week and the wife was for a couple days before. Why I thought it wouldn't hit me also I dunno.

I slept fine Friday night. Saturday I had a lot of soreness in joints and could never seem to regulate my temperature properly. Starting hacking pretty good and it went down hill from there. I should have packed it in around 5pm but I was really trying hard to be there for Deane's class. I've only been through it once before and I really wanted to attend again.

Yet even with the raging inferno Saturday night, and 2 sets of lightweight silk top and bottom, the DCPS fleece bottom and two tops, cap and gloves, I still would start shivering anytime I got further than burn distance from the fire. I noticed a couple people "keeping an eye" on me, and I think it was then that I realized how bad I really was. I hadn't been sick in the field in 20 years. I went to my shelter and started to lay down and got the spins. That was it for me and I packed it in at 9pm. I "lost" some soup and sandwich (the day's meals) on the side of 314 not far from camp And I ran the heat full blast the 5 hours home and still was shivering here and there. Slept most of the day yesterday and still recovering today. Morale of the story, don't go to the field sick


Glad Deane's class went well, hate that I missed it.

Very nice to meet Michelle and her boys, ya'll are welcome back anytime. Nice to see the familiar faces including those "Dawgs"

The flu will definitely show you that.

this one time I had the flu so bad i drove home with the heat on full blast it was 130 degrees inside the car before I got home (heat on in summer!) and at the temp i finally stopped shivering. man. i hate the flu. one good thing about it I've noticed is every time i get it I never get the following year nor do i come down with a cold either. seems like the huge shock the system takes dealing with the flu seems to strenghten my imuune system for another year or two.

had it last year at christmas, this year....nothing.

[Patriot Prepper]

Looks like I missed the fun.

Does that campground allow dogs? My dog goes everywhere I do.

Look forward to more events.

[rockriver]

dogs?

i suggest you check the state rules... to make sure.
but it seems i remember a well behaved "taco" a year or so ago.
and i seem to remember feeding "taco2" this year some scraps.
of course if it is against state rules,
my old brain is confusing me, and maybe it was at that private facility i visited!!
but a well behaved dog was at a campout i went to recently...
